Location
I was visiting Tortuguero, Costa Rica. I was paddling through the narrow canals and spotted this caiman right beside my canoe.Time
It was early morningLighting
The sun was just coming up and the light was soft. The humidity dispersed the light rays.Equipment
I used a Nikon with a 300mm lens.Inspiration
I love animals and I like to photograph them when they are unaware of my presence. However this one was quite aware that I was near her. Further on were her babies.Editing
NoIn my camera bag
Just a 18-55 and a 70-300mmFeedback
Be very quiet. I like my zoom even for situations that are fairly close because it captures the expressions of the animals.
